Jarred Johnson is one fortunate” person. Truthfully, & ldquo
; lucky Fortunate rdquo; is a bit of an understatement. Johnson just recently won 2 massive prizes on video keno, each worth more than$ 140,000. That’s remarkable in and of itself, however much more extraordinary is he won with the precise very same numbers each time.
The entire ridiculous keno thing began with Cosmo bartender Jeff Hernandez. I pertained to Vegas one weekend and broken out. I went downstairs to Jeff’s bar. He asked what I bank on and I informed him. He stated, & lsquo; No, guy, stop that. Keno is the video game.’ & rdquo; Hernandez, who normally operates at Cosmo’s precious Chandelier Bar(picture listed below), continued to mention a maker at the bar, and suggested Johnson play these numbers: 9, 18, 19, 20, 29. Bartenders understand things. Johnson took it under advisement and played the numbers later on that day at Bellagio. Within 10 minutes, Johnson struck 5 numbers out of 5 with a max bet of $8 for a win of $600.
He headed back to Cosmo, kept playing the numbers and turned his $600 into $12,000. For anybody else, that would be an amazing run, however Johnson wasn’t done yet.
Johnson states he ‘d never ever truly had much interest in video keno up until he spoke with Hernandez, however he was up for some enjoyable, so he began playing 7 numbers (the more numbers you pick, the larger the prospective payment).
His numbers: 8, 9, 10, 18, 19, 20, 29. All clustered in the upper right corner of the keno card.
At the $1 denomination on Four Card Keno, he was wagering $20 a pop.
He went on a streak of striking 6 out of 7 numbers a lots times.
On Sep. 4, 2022, he struck a prize for $140,000.
course. In Vegas, when is it ever truly adequate? Throughout his next check out, Johnson went back to his fortunate bar (in the Cosmo sportsbook), to his fortunate device and had fun with his fortunate numbers. Extremely,

very same numbers, OMFG. Johnson has actually won and lost a great deal of cash gaming, however even he was stunned by his terrific luck. A good friend of Johnson’s, an attorney and mathematician, pointed out the chances of winning 7 of
7 numbers in video keno are 1-in-40,891. According to his pal, the chances of 2 prizes with the very same numbers is 1-in-1.6 million. We can’t remember ever seeing a larger hit(plural, truly)on a non-progressive bartop video device.
Due to the fact that we understand how you are(and you understand how we are), we asked Johnson the often uncomfortable concern of just how much he tipped. We’ve seen him in action at a craps table, and he’s a highly-regarded George( gambling establishment promote generous tipper), and the team at Cosmo wasn’t dissatisfied. For each of his wins, Johnson tipped the bartenders $5,000. He tipped the slot attendants (the folks who pay the prize) $2,000.
Among the slot attendants stated it was the most she ‘d ever been tipped for a big win.
The bartenders were delighted, however there was a little bit of a small kerfuffle throughout among the wins. We share it here since it’s an intriguing problem we had not thought about much prior to becoming aware of this fortunate streak.
These wins didn’t come rapidly, so Johnson invested a fair bit of time playing prior to they strike. When he struck among the prizes, a bartender who had actually been serving him clocked out and remained (more than a half hour), positive the prize would be struck. Provided Johnson’s credibility for being an excellent tipper, a win of $140,000 was most likely to lead to a substantial gratuity.
The brouhaha began when Johnson tipped, as the bartender who stayed after his shift took the pointer, obviously feeling he deserved it. He supposedly tipped out the team on the clock about $500, and went on his method. His fellow bartenders weren’t delighted. Obviously, a union associate even dropped in to ask about the scenarios.
We’ve constantly questioned how all that works. The bartenders we’ve fulfilled swimming pool their suggestions, and the pointer is divided amongst those operating at the time an idea is provided. We didn’t dig unfathomable, and it would be bad kind for personnel to go over such friction with visitors or a blog writer, anyhow. Simply raises some interesting concerns about gambling establishment culture and tipping.
Anyhow, kerfuffle aside, Johnson’s fortunate set of $140,000 wins is now the things of Las Vegas legend.
& rdquo; We’re a substantial fan of both those pieces of recommendations! Bartenders typically enjoy gamers and their bartop makers for hours. Their anecdotal knowledge has actually settled typically at our preferred locations, and one bartender at Circa even describes himself as our “& ldquo; partner. & rdquo; Mostly when we struck a prize. Coincidence.
Bigtime congrats to Jarred Johnson for his life-affirming handpays.
He states he’ll look for the device once again, and prepares to play his fortunate numbers, too. Offered his larger bankroll, he has actually considered bumping up his wager to $80 a shot, the prize would be 6 figures.
We’ve never ever attempted video keno (it’s tough to shake the preconception of live keno being the worst video game in a gambling establishment, that’s not the case with video keno), however whenever you go to a gambling establishment bar, any off-duty bartender or server or dealership you see will be playing it, and all have stories of big wins.
Offered Jarred’s luck, we’re all set to offer video keno a go.
